Strap Yourself In…

For almost half a decade now I have been making fun of that flat chested, little flower girl from Final Fantasy VII. But after the previous comic, I finally decided it was about time I showed her a little love. In fact it was actually the thirdDueling Analogs comic where I took my first stab, no pun intended, at Aeris Aerith Gainsborough.

The good part about Final Fantasy VII is that like Super Mario Bros. or Pac-Man it’s so ingrained into the gaming culture you really need no setup for the reader to understand where you’re coming from. Choose an event or character, make a joke and odds are the audience will get it. Now, if I were to make a comic about the Chiki Chiki Boys I would definitely need to do some explaining.

In case you want to look at any of Dueling Analogs’ previous Aerith Gainsborough comics they are all located right here

Update:Jamie Noguchi supplied me with a puppy cow remix of today’s comic [remixed comic]. Don’t know what a puppy cow is? I recommend learning about it here. I still laugh everytime I see the remixed image.

Oh, and for some “ridiculous fanboy moment” trivia, I actually had a thing for “Sephiroth x Aerith” back in the day. Don’t ask me why. I don’t even know. Something about this logically and physically impossible pairing just felt right to me. XD

Besides, it’s not really the first time Dueling Analogs has been “NSFW”. This is actually more tame than some previous comics that come to mind. (Such as one offering up a nude Lara Croft.) I mean, NSFW is about 50% of these comics, am I right?
